Hey guys, today at the club some guy came in w/a m-4 with a m-6 and KA VG mounted on his samco handguard. I tried it out and was shocked at 25 yards the laser was dead on (I mean dead on!)!

I always thought these things were made for handguns only. Does anyone out there use this "poor man's" system? He also had a pressure pad attached to it which was taped onto his KA VG - pretty neat system. Where can you buy the pressure pad for an M-6??? Didn't know they had them.

How do you think this set up works as in reliability? If it works ok I might buy a used Insight M-6 from someone and try this system out. If its a waste of time then well, I guess I'll save up for something else. Opinions?

I dont doubt it will work but I would be cautious with the system. I think its probably pretty fragile. The M6's arent nearly as solid as some other laser aiming devices out there. I think they'll probably work ok for short term or on a gun that wont get used very hard. But long term durability would be something to be concerned about. Especially when mounted to plastic rails like those on the Samco units.

I agree, Another thing to keep in mind is the white light output...not nearly enough for shock effect. but FYI...the M6's have recently been fielded for testing with the last unit I worked with for use on M4's. Since the M6's didn't have lense covers they all had lenses that were scratched up and in bad shape, which also affected beam quality.
